Testing SVoice on the Galaxy Note 10.1

I thought I would give SVoice a try on my G'Note 10.1 3G version. It's working okay, might be that SVoice is not running fully. Even my Galaxy SIII SVoice lately has been acting up.
So at least it is possible to run SVoice on our G'Note.

SVoice works fairly good in English but is horrible in German.
Deactivated it on my SGSIII, will reactivate only when performance is better ..........................

Second this. Can't even call somebody. I activated all location sources and even put in my location manually, but when I ask for the time or weather SVoice gives me some crap in Masassuchets... Same city, but Hey what the heck, i live in germany?

I don't know why you guys are having issues. S Voice works fine on my Note II and 10.1. Did you side-load the APK or are you using it as it's installed in JB? And I prefer S Voice to Google Now because it controls apps on the device which Now doesn't have access to. BTW, both my Note's have Brazilian CSC's and are being used in the U.S.

Is it only available on the cellular Notes? I have it on my Note 2 but it's MIA on the Note 10.1. I just have the basic 16GB without cellular connectivity with the newest stock firmware and there's definitely no S Voice.
Update: Disregard, I'm in the US and apparently the Germany market is the only one to get the official Jelly Bean update so far.

thinking so. Trying to play with s voice and its voice recognition is good, but I keep having to tell it to search the internet after asking it a question. It should just do it automatically.

[Q] Offline Voice Recognition

I've got CM 10.1(20130709) running on my Defy+ and Gapps(gapps-jb4.2-20130301 by TJKV). How do I get offline voice recognition? I've read this thread and couldn't understand what needs to done.

Download the voice pack
Using root file explorer, link the voice pack(en-US) folder to /system/usr/srec
Also try the app utter voice commands on play store

Actually, no, based on my attempt! I already have this version of Google Search, but no Offline Recognition option to choose from, unless I'm missing something?

Exact same issue I faced. I had posted that without trying it out.

[Q] Google Maps/Navigation not saying street names

I finally got my Tmo G2 last night and plan on spending the next 13 days playing with it to make sure I want to keep it. I ran the GPS from the store back home, just to test the GPS and the volume. They were fine; however, Google Navigation wasn't speaking the street names along with the instructions.
I did some research when I got home. However, I don't have Google Text-to-Speech in my Apps list (under Settings), so I can't do anything with that. Under Language & Input, the language is set to US English. Under Text-to-Speech Output, I can choose between LG TTS+ (selected) and Pico TTS.
Does anybody else with a G2 have this problem?

hmm i dont know...but it doesn't sound good...

Well, I got Pico TTS to say the street names. I cleared cache in Maps, switched to Pico, and it works. But the voice isn't as nice as Tmobile's TTS, which is the one I'd like to use.

I know ATT has this issue and now with you the TMO version does too; i know that Verizon is loaded with the Google TTS so seems to be carrier variant.

I'm taking a wild guess, you wouldn't need Google search would you?
I use gps for my bike ride everyday. Works perfect here.

I have Google Search/Now, it's set for the default US English, and I downloaded the 22MB dictionary file, but the voice in Maps still isn't speaking the street names. It was able to verbally tell me that the Arizona Diamondbacks won, though. So this seems to be something related to the Maps program, perhaps.
In my Applications list, LG's TTS has a size of 4KB and a 28KB cache. So there's not a whole lot of data there, which I find a little odd.

I noticed the same. It was different on my gs4, It said street names and the voice was different too. Any help? I don't know what tts or Pico means

You need to have the Google tts or text to speech engine to get it to be the way you want. It seems the att & T-Mobile version isn't including it whereas Verizon did.

Odd that Google's engine wasn't included here. I did get an email from LG support this morning; seems like it's due to a change by Google in Maps.
Thank you for contacting LG Electronics!!
We apologize for this huge inconvenience. Due to an recent update that was done to the Google maps app, this feature e was modified. However you have the option to uninstall the app in order for the TTS+ to work like it use to have it before.

You may have to go to Settings > Apps > All and clear cached data in Maps.

She meant uninstalling the Updates to the app. If you uninstall the updates, you get the regular voice back. But you also have the older version of Maps.

Yeah, that's what she clarified in my follow-up question. I may give that a try. Can't say I've been too fond of Maps since the overhaul a few months(??) ago.

I did. These are the steps I took to solve it:
1) Download Google TTS Engine from the Play Store and install.
2) Go into System Settings -> Language and Input -> Text to Speech and select the Google TTS engine.
Now I have street names! Yay! (She still sounds really snarky compared to the old voice I had on my G2x.)

Google Navigation since kitkat
I thought I saw this being discussed somewhere before, but can't find it. Since updating to KitKat The voice on google navigation gets cut off when giving an instruction.
Instead of saying Turn left in a quarter mile on Jones street it says, "turn left in a quarter" When it repeats the instruction at the 500 feet mark, for example, it works.
The cut off seems to occur if text to speech has been asleep because it's been a few minutes between its use.
Waze doesn't do this, because it uses a different TTS engine, but Google Nav has its own.
Has anyone found a fix?

Google navigator actually does use the system TTS engine. It defaults to the generic "turn right, turn left, etc" when it looses contact with the TTS engine. Try going to app settings, force stop Google maps, clear cache, then go to language and input....text to speech and then have it play an example of the TTS. If it all sounds good TRY Navigator again, you'll probably find it is now working.

Actually that is not trying true, just go to the play store and install. Works just fine on my AT&T D800 with kit Kat, not rooted, 100% stock as shipped by AT&T. I personally just prefer Ivona Voice, the LG TTS+ engine just didn't cut it for me.

It says Street names. It just cuts off the complete phrase when it gives an instruction after it has been idle.
